WHAT TO WEAR: Summer

In the wise words of Alice Cooper, “School’s out for summer. School’s out forever.” For some people that last sentence is actually true. For me, that last sentence is getting closer and closer. Graduating college is scary. It’s almost time to go into the world as a real person—an adult. I’d never thought I would become one of them. It’s about that time, and I realize it every time school comes to an end and some of my friends graduate from college. In all honesty, there should be a life course that we are required to take before being able to exit our fine institutions. I am still very much a college kid and even though I have one more semester left to become a “real adult,” I don’t feel like I will be prepared. I still eat ramen for far too many meals that I am willing to admit. Until our debut into adult life, every college-not-graduate needs to enjoy their last summer of freedom. Even if you have an internship or job, it’s still better than knowing you have to figure out how to pay bills, do your taxes and cook real food in the near future.

This Fashionista has the perfect summer outfit ensemble. Her printed romper is great for any summer day of shopping or going to an outdoor cookout. Rompers are an essential summer item that should be in every Fashionista’s closet. They are super easy and versatile.
